  • the drive unit, usually a propeller, of the electric drive generates a thrust according to the position of the drive lever, which acts in the opposite direction of the thrust generated when driving forward.
  • a device for specifying the driving position of an electric drive of a boat having a housing with two receiving elements arranged on opposite side walls of the housing for defining a pivot axis and a drive lever pivotable about this pivot axis, the drive lever being received on both receiving elements.

  • the device has a spring element which is designed in such a way that it places the drive lever in a neutral position.
  • the electric drive is at a standstill when the drive lever is in a zero position.
  • the electric drive is operated with a gear that is predetermined according to the position of the drive lever. If the drive lever is released, the drive lever can be returned to the neutral position.
  • the spring element can be designed in such a way that it moves the drive lever back into the zero position in forward and reverse operation of the electric drive when the drive lever is not actuated by a user.
  • the device has a latching element which is designed in such a way to hold the driving lever in a neutral position.
  • the latching element generates a force through a suitably selected spring constant, which counteracts the movement out of the neutral position. This provides the user with haptic feedback that the lever is being moved out of the zero position. Even when moving back to the zero position, the user receives haptic feedback that the zero position has been reached again.
  • the locking element serves to prevent the lever from accidentally moving out of the selected position. Especially when the drive lever is in the zero position, the locking element provides protection against accidental adjustment, e.g. triggered by vibrations or waves.
  • the locking element presses on the side wall when the lever is actuated. This creates a frictional force that ensures that the lever on the selected position remains if the user releases the lever in this position.
  • the drive lever is not spring-loaded and accordingly remains in the position specified by the user due to the unavoidable friction of the components.
  • This exemplary embodiment can also be connected particularly well to a latching element that defines the zero position.
  • the inhibition of the driving lever by friction can also be achieved by a defined friction device, which makes it possible to provide a predetermined haptic experience for the user, so that he always has to move the driving lever against a slightly higher resistance.

After the magnetic pin is inserted into the predetermined space of the housing, the device is switched on, or switched off if the magnetic pin is not inserted into the space.
  • the blank is made of a ferromagnetic material, such as metal. In this way, a safe on-off switch can be provided.
  • the magnetic pin is thus preferably used as an emergency stop switch, which can be provided, for example, in the form of a so-called "kill switch".

  • the drive lever has a leg with a recess, the receiving element receiving the drive lever via the recesses, so that the drive lever can be pivoted about the pivot axis.
  • the drive lever is clickably connected to the receiving elements of the housing.
  • the receiving elements have a length that is greater than the leg thickness in the direction of the pivot axis.
  • clickable means in particular that the receiving elements have fastening lugs.

In particular, the leg cannot be pulled off the housing in the pivoting-axial direction, but remains there until the latching lugs are either removed or pushed back into the recess in the radial direction to the pivoting axis, so that the leg can be removed again.
  • Clickable can also mean that the receiving elements also press radially against the inside of the recess. As a result, friction can be generated in the pivoting direction. As a result, an effort is required to move the lever, so that the lever cannot be adjusted, for example due to waves or the like.

As soon as the recess 11a has been moved completely over the receiving element 15a, the tabs move radially outwards since no radial force is acting on the locking lugs. At the same time, the axial position of the leg 10 is fixed by the locking lugs.
  • the tabs of the receiving element 15a also cause a force radially outwards, so that a friction or frictional force arises between the inside of the recess 11a and the receiving element 15a.
  • the leg can only be moved when the frictional force has been overcome by a user. This prevents the arm from being actuated, for example, in strong waves.
  • a frictional force enables the feed to be adjusted more precisely, since the restoring force provides the user with haptic feedback about the leg position.
